Chapter 9 · Times of the Prayersوَقْتِ الظُّهْرِ عِنْدَ الزَّوَالِ
The time of the Zuhr prayer when the sun passes the meridian
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ وَأَحَدُنَا يَعْرِفُ جَلِيسَهُ، وَيَقْرَأُ فِيهَا مَا بَيْنَ السِّتِّينَ إِلَى الْمِائَةِ، وَيُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ، وَالْعَصْرَ وَأَحَدُنَا يَذْهَبُ إِلَى أَقْصَى الْمَدِينَةِ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ وَالشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ، وَنَسِيتُ مَا قَالَ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ، وَلاَ يُبَالِي بِتَأْخِيرِ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ. ثُمَّ قَالَ إِلَى شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ.

حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمِنْهَالِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ،
Translation
Abu Barzah reported: The Prophet ﷺ used to pray the dawn prayer when one of us could recognize the person sitting next to him, and he would recite in it between sixty and a hundred (verses). He would pray the Zuhr prayer when the sun had passed the meridian, and the Asr prayer when one of us could (afterwards) go to the farthest end of Madinah and return while the sun was still bright – and I have forgotten what he said about the Maghrib prayer – and he did not mind delaying the Isha prayer until a third of the night. Then he said: until half of the night.
Translator’s note: “I have forgotten …” and “Then he said: …” are the words of the narrator Abu al-Minhal about Abu Barzah.

Abu Barza berichtete: Der Prophet ﷺ pflegte das Morgengebet zu verrichten, wenn einer von uns seinen Sitznachbarn erkennen konnte, und er rezitierte darin zwischen sechzig und hundert (Verse). Er verrichtete das Mittagsgebet, wenn die Sonne den Zenit überschritten hatte, und das Nachmittagsgebet, wenn einer von uns (danach) ans äußerste Ende von Medina gehen und zurückkehren konnte, während die Sonne noch kräftig schien – und ich habe vergessen, was er über das Abendgebet sagte –, und er machte sich nichts daraus, das Nachtgebet bis zu einem Drittel der Nacht hinauszuschieben. Dann sagte er: bis zur Hälfte der Nacht.
Translator’s note: „Ich habe vergessen …“ und „Dann sagte er: …“ sind Worte des Überlieferers Abu l-Minhal über Abu Barza.
Türkçe
Ebû Berze (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Nebî ﷺ sabah namazını, birimiz yanında oturanı tanıyabildiği vakit kılardı ve onda altmış ile yüz arası (âyet) okurdu. Öğle namazını güneş zevale erdiğinde kılardı. İkindiyi de, birimiz (namazdan sonra) Medine'nin en uç tarafına gidip dönebileceği ve güneş hâlâ parlak olacağı vakitte kılardı – akşam hakkında ne dediğini unuttum –. Yatsı namazını gecenin üçte birine kadar geciktirmekte bir sakınca görmezdi. Sonra: gecenin yarısına kadar, dedi.
Translator’s note: “Unuttum …” ve “Sonra … dedi” sözleri, râvi Ebü'l-Minhâl'in Ebû Berze hakkındaki sözleridir.
